My computer won't automatically recognize that the camera is hooked up to the USB port either. With my old camera...Once I hooked up...My computer realized that something was in my USB port. I then had the option to automatically scan the photos to the computer for download, etc. using the microsoft wizard. It was very easy that way. I can't figure out why this camera dosen't do that. Any help would be appreciated. If someone knows how to download these pics PLEASE LET US KNOW in easy steps. Thanks so much.Yep...

All the sudden, when I plug in my camera to my computer, it makes a double clicking sound and the computer does not open the files on my camera.

The steps I have already taken to solve the problem are to try to turn my camera off and then try to turn it on again and plug it into my computer. I have also read some of the troubleshooting options on this page.All the sudden, when I plug in my camera to my computer, it makes a double clicking sound and the computer does not open the files on my camera.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

First you should have a program installed in your computer to transfer your pictures, best is canon's.
Once the USB cable is connected you should turn your camera on, automatictly the program detects your camera and asks you to press the transfering button. Good Luck.
